    Used ATV's

    These are generalizations...... Look at the undercarriage of the machine. Check the paint, chips mean rocks and non-pavement riding. Check the boots, tears mean running over trees and branches etc. Check the winch cable, bright shiny cable means little use. Pull the entire cable out. Rust...

    Is our food source in jeopardy?

    I think the average number of these events is 4 for a 12 month period if my old azz memory serves. I read that in more than one article I perused. Take that for what it's worth cuz I'm not planning on digging any more into it. I did this in the wee hours of the morning, bleary eyed, tired...

    Is our food source in jeopardy?

    I had some time between pump checks and did some snooping around on this issue. Just a list of what's been torched or damaged in the past couple years that has to do with food production, food processing, and food distribution. It's quite a list and for the big ones like General Mills and...

    Federal CWD Spending

    If this goes through, I think the ND hunting proclamation will be on deck to swell to rival War and Peace in size. This SCREAMS regulatory explosion.

    More Wetter

    I've had enough slop and mud for awhile. That big orange ball I saw yesterday kind of scared me for a bit. Had to remember what it was. I have some projects that need doing, but rutting up the yard and pissing off the Mrs. isn't high on the priority list. I'm asking Heavenly Father for about...

    Fishing Sheyenne river new vegetation

    That being the case, I'd gob some worms on a hook with a float to keep it just off the bottom and find a 2-3 ft flat. Preferably a mowed lawn type situation. Lob the worms out there and wait. The larger the flat the better as the edges will tend to be warmer. Don't cast out to the middle...

    Fishing Sheyenne river new vegetation

    Absolutely!! Find any culvert that's within 100 yards of the main river that has some current. Not rushing water, but good current. Use white paddletails, twisters, or a jig and minnow. The walleyes and pike will stack up in that slower moving water on either side of the culvert currents...

    Is our food source in jeopardy?

    Lack of or the cost of fertilizer is, and will be, a much more serious concern than a few buildings going down IMO. Anhydrous ammonia was $625 a ton a year ago and now it's $1700 a ton. Makes me wonder what a loaf of bread will cost this fall or a box of corn flakes as wheat and corn require...

    Golden Trout on Mars

    Beautiful Fish!! I've only caught two of these beauties in my life. Both were welcome surprises.

    Sump pump

    I have used just about every brand of sump pump at one time or another. I run whatever was on sale before I needed it. I haven't seen much of a difference between them. They all seem to crap out at about the same point. I do have really hard water, so I think they crud up real fast once they...

    Water levels?

    I've got nothin' on the Mighty Mo, but my Sheyenne river is making things sporty around Ft. KDM. They are hoping to hold it to Moderate Flooding and have been closing bridges all over Valley City and putting up control measures. Not to mention the washed out rural roads from overland flooding...

    Hunting knives

    I use a Brusletto Bamsen made in Norway. It's a damn good fixed blade knife and it's what I carry when I hunt. I've used it to gut, break down, and butcher cattle, hogs, elk, deer, and untold numbers of birds. It's exceptionally sharp and holds an edge. I've yet to sharpen my current knife...

    Bird Flu

    The birds of all kinds are doing just fine around Fort KDM. Counted 11 eagles soaring two days ago. Most were juvies, but eagles non the less. Tweety birds of all kinds are mobbing the yard all day every day and the hawks/falcons that hunt them blast into the yard at least 3 times a day so...

    Messing with Mike...

    This falls squarely into the "Don't start nothing.....Won't be nothing". Nitwit started.......Iron Mike ended. Moving on!

    Deer Summary

    My entire academic and professional career has also centered around the collection and analysis of research data. We will have to agree to disagree on the value of subjective data. Subjective data introduces untold variability which can not be quantified resulting in "Messy Data". Can surveys...

    Deer Summary

    Nice idea, but you're assuming everyone will tell the truth. Everyone has an agenda. Trophy hunters want age so they prefer to say LOTS, ie TO MANY of deer were taken, lower the numbers to increase the population. Meaning more deer will get older. Meat hunters want LOTS of deer to maximize...

    Deer Summary

    I'd kind of like to see how the youngsters did. I know some of them can use their tag during the regular season, but it would still be nice to know how they did.

    Smoked prime rib

    I guess I do mine a bit differently. I season 24 hours before and put in the fridge. On smoke day I get the smokehouse warmed up to 175 -180 BEFORE putting meat in. Then put the meat in for about 20 minutes to get the outside warmed up and juicy. Then I add the smoke and hold for about 3...
